You will realize the Seat hugging/comfort of the mondeo is way better than the M, T, H....

If its any consolation, the Mondeo is on same platform as Volvo S60 and that is only 1.6 costing 220k... and 2.0 (240hp... same engine as Mondeo with diff mapping) is 260k.... so you getting a good stuff at almost 40-80k off...

That center part of the leather seat add some "young" feel to it so to speak...

just got back from a short test drive at puchong showroom. a powerful car with good acceleration. and considering it's a 200hp d-segment car for rm179k, i say it's value for money.

I think you rae absultely on the bulls eye

Hihihi..the Mas ..is a give away..

Hi, I'm a proud and disappointed owner of the the Ford S-Max Ecoboost. Proud in the way that I'm absolutely thrill with the performance and chasis quality and the compactness of the car any Japanese cars hard to match with the same standard. However, I'm very disappointed too that the second batch of Mondeo and S-Max are now having standardized with 240hp and 340NM torque, leaving the 1st batch of owners, including me, with 40hp and 40Nm torque lesser. I'm making a complaint to Ford management and I'm taking it very seriously into the issue and requesting to re-flash our 1st batch cars with the updated performance. I've strong reason why the current owners should request for it.

There isn't any modifications involved, the whole car and the engine are 100% the same unit. The only difference is the engine which is is now programmed in the ECU to have much higher horse and torque value and it will be standardized globally inclusive China, and leaving us behind with the 200hp and 300NM torque. I repeat, it s only the ECU programme management dealing with the difference engine performance, it has nothing to do with warranties and their pricing with their latest stock. I urge all 1st batch Mondeo and Smax owner stand it out and request them to update our engine performance, and don't just leave us behind quietly. This is very unfair to us when we are having paid and own the same old cars with the same technology.

Again, I'm taking this very seriously, and I'm awaiting the reply from them. Volvo and Range Rover Evoque are having the same 240hp performance output, there is no way they are leaving us behind quietly. My car has been driven not even more than 7000km. I will involve with local tribunal whenever necessary to fight for this. They should be holding some responsibility to entertain the 1st batch of owners not even long after the 2nd batch of restocks in Malaysia market.

Maybe some parts were changed, made stronger? Otherwise, if Ford/Sime Darby won't help you, maybe you can find a company that remaps the car for you? Of course it won't be free, but better than nothing I guess.

LOL! The new Camry is a joke. No offense, but that is what it is.

Isn't sime going to increase the price for the higher output Mondeo?

that's the misunderstanding everyone of the higher output means higher price. It is not always how it is. It is the technology and the manufacturer's decision of the engine output. As far as I concern, the best example of these engines are the VW Golf GTi and Ford Ecoboost 2 litre engine, there are more and more continental car manufacturers having this turbo charging direct injection technology, which it provide extremely high output yet efficient. Due to the direct injection and turbo charging technology, these engines are extremely flexible. These engines can be tuned with just the ECU programming to decide the final output with quite a good range. In the beginning, Ford was obviously having a more conservative approach with these ecoboost engines tuned at 200hp and 300nm torque. It was lately that the later batch of these ecoboost engines were standardized and tuned at a much more aggressive output which it was designed for. And Ford seems standardising the higher output globally now, leaving the older batch behind with lesser output, I repeat, there is not modification, probably the only difference is the ecu chipset and obviously the tuning of the ecu. There is no modification of the engine nor the engine is a different unit. It is only the decision of the ECU tuning of having the final output.

I'm definitely fighting for this. Volvo S60 and other models and the Range Rover Evoque is having this engine unit supplied by Ford, they are all tuned similarly at 240hp. It is totally not fair to the 1st batch of customers in Malaysia getting the same car but left behind and could not enjoy the technology at its maximum.

If all Golf Gti user go make noise about their car deserve ABT stage 2,3 tuning for free using the same logic, then ABT can close shop... If newer gen Civic using the same old engine with better tuning come out then meaning 8th Gen Civic users can all protest ?

If I am Sime I will throw ur letter into the bin or post it as jokes of the day

it does not need flaming here, it is a different situation and they are making it with a bad timing with the product launching to the owners, why suggesting irrelevant 3rd market tuning stage and start a flame here? I'm only trying to share info here, flaming is unnecessary. The examples you are giving is too extreme, it is totally not what I'm approaching with the situation. I'm not asking Ford to change me a 2010 Mondeo to a 2013 Mondeo. The sales person dealt with me encourage me and fully agree with the situation.

I'm trying to share info to the Ford owners, and it is not a product update, it is not a facelift, I already mentioned the 1st batch and the current 2nd batch is a very close period, Sime have no choice as Ford international is standardising their produciton line. Let me tell you it is not an upgrade, please understand it. I've never ask them to tear down my car roof and the passenger seat and upgrade me with the electronic seat which they are offering different specs now. The engine is very different situation to the Gold and the so called Civic example you are giving, please stop flaming
